Brentwood Home Cedar Mattress

Hi Psychmedic,

Welcome to the Mattress Forum!

Seems like the brentwood home cedar mattress is similar to the nest bedding latex hybrid.

While both of these mattresses are “hybrids” (pocketed spring units with various phones on top), they are quite different in design. The Brentwood Home Cedar uses two-2" layers of Dunlop latex in the upper comfort layers with wool quilted to the covering, where the Nest Bedding Alexander hybrid uses 2" of polyfoam, 2" of memory foam and 2" of polyfoam in the quilt, so both items would have a very different feel. The Nest is available in Medium or Luxury Firm versions. The Brentwood Cedar comes in one version of plushness, which they term a medium.

I wonder if the ridged shaped latex layer of the brentwood home will hold up over time or if the ridges would start to sag.

All foams will become slightly softer over time, even latex, but latex is quite durable and I wouldn’t expect the ridges to flatten out.

On the nest bedding, which uses less latex and 7 inch pocketted coils, i wonder if the coils are of similar quality to the cedar.

Both items used pockets spring units with firmer coils around the edge for extra reinforcement (Brentwood using a three-zone and Nest using a five-zone), and these would both generally be considered good quality support units (innersprings are rarely the “weak link” of a mattress).

Anyone try the firmness of the cedar mattress yet?

While other people’s comments about the knowledge and service of a particular business can certainly be very helpful … I would always keep in mind that you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress and I would be cautious about using anyone else’s suggestions, experiences or reviews on a specific mattress (either positive or negative) or review sites in general as a reliable source of information or guidance about how you will feel on the same mattress or how suitable or how durable a mattress may be for you. In many if not most cases they can be more misleading than helpful because a mattress that would be a perfect choice for one person or even a larger group of people in terms of comfort, firmness, and PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and your own Personal preferences) may be completely unsuitable for someone else to sleep on (even if they are in a similar weight range). In other words … reviews or other people’s experiences in general won’t tell you much if anything about the suitability, quality, durability, or “value” of a mattress for any particular person (see post #13 here).
